Dear Esther is certainly not for everyone, but those who cue to its curious flavors will find something quite memorable on this cloudy, windswept island. Dear Esther immerses you in a stunningly realised world, a remote and desolate island somewhere in the outer Hebrides. In the end, it's perhaps not so much an interactive story as a multimedia rumination on the search for understanding and meaning in the seemingly random events of our lives. This, coupled with the shape of the tale itself (which at times seems intentionally vague, meandering, and difficult to understand), will be enough to send some players off the deep end as they fruitlessly attempt to work out what it all means.īut there also will be some who find beauty in the poetry of the language used, who marvel at the game's undeniable visual splendor, and who appreciate the subtle but atmospheric score that enhances the game's dark, lonely undertones. There will be those who walk away believing it's not a game at all but instead a new form of media-based storytelling driven by players pressing directional keys on their keyboards. Dear Esther came out of nowhere and took the gaming world by storm, proving to be one really well done adventure title, with a great atmosphere and some amazing puzzles.
This has been verified on two separate accounts by myself on 30th June. Dear Esther challenges players' conception of what a video game can be. Welcome to my Seanchaidh/Walkthrough achievement guide for Dear Esther.
